Sheaffer Prelude Lacquer Ballpoint Pen Many great thoughts begin with a perfect pen like the Sheaffer Prelude. A slimmed down version of the Sheaffer Legacy (a favorite from yesteryear), the new Sheaffer Prelude will appeal to fashionable and traditional writers alike in modern lacquers accented with gunmetal and rose gold plated trim. The classic profile is comfortable in the hand for a pleasurable writing experience - a great choice as an everyday writer. Its tapered cap and streamlined clip carry the world-renowned Sheaffer "White Dot®" symbol of quality. The fountain pen features vintage-style engravings on its flexible steel nib. You'll also experience Sheaffer's superb engineering and performance when you use the twist ball pen or capped rollerball. Choose from sporty black lacquer with gunmetal trim or demure navy blue with rose gold accents and record those brilliant thoughts with great taste and style!.
